As you have seen, each of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The WB2200F because of its smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sony RX100 VI will produce more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged WB2200F will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
